Come out and enjoy outdoor community yoga this summer, June -August 2015, yoga field trips (like Chicago Zoo and Detroit Zoo), outings (Asanas & Brew), and yoga events (First Int'l Day of Yoga).

Ann Arbor Outdoor Yoga is for both experienced yogi's or the casually interested as we plan one community outdoor yoga class per week.

Our goal is to provide accessible yoga, offer a community of warm-hearted and fun-loving yoga practitioners to participate and offer weekly community outdoor yoga for Ann Arbor neighborhoods, families, friends, couples (AcroYoga), and singles through the Washtenaw county park system, studios that coordinate with us.

Yoga studios around Ann Arbor may post their outdoor yoga events or special events such as Yoga at Top of the Park June 12 or Yoga at the Zoo later in the month.

Donations are welcome to cover the site cost for the website ($20/month or $64 for 6 months)

With growing participation, we'd like to continue donations toward Ann Arbor community non-profits, such as FoodGatherers and Zingerman's Community Kitchen.

Thank you for joining us. We look forward to seeing you at one of our events this week!

We would like to have each Outdoor Yoga Meetup be an opportunity for YOGA LOVERS to support one of our favorite Ann Arbor non-profits:

FOOD GATHERERS!!

Each outdoor yoga meetup R.S.V.P cost, (minimum of, say, 5 or 6 bucks) will help Food Gatherers get food to people who need it.

We are REALLY excited about this idea generated from one of YOU. Thanks Nina!!

Next steps:

Let us know who of you would like to help organize --

A shout out to 4 yoga lovers to step up and turn this fantastic idea into a happen'n weekly Be In Awe event.

To become an Outdoor Yoga event organizer, to benefit Food Gatherers, email

Jody@BeInAweYoga.com

We'll look to yoga lovers to help determine:

Which day/days and time of day works best for this weekly or monthly yoga meetup to benefit Food Gatherers.

Know that -- We're looking for a beautiful outdoor sanctuary -- a beautiful place to host the meetup... maybe by the river in E. Delhi Park. A must is a bathroom close by. Maybe you have a good idea regarding location. A possibility would be Bird Hill Park -- where there could be a swim after yoga. :)

100% of our meetup RSVP cost will go to

Food Gatherers.

We're excited and hope you will be too.

Next step -- let's hear from 4 of you -- by April 22 -- to help make this a weekly event, worth celebrating.
